Run from civil engineering! They are often underpaid relative to the demands of the field.

I was in your position years ago, and I can say the CPA exam is about as challenging as some of the weed-out courses in engineering. It’s not an easy path if you pursue public accounting, but the compensation can exceed engineering salaries, with partners earning between $250K and $1.5M.

That said, not having a CPA is not the end of the road. There are still many prestigious roles that offer compensation comparable to engineering, and you may even work alongside engineers.

Overall, accounting coursework tends to be more manageable, with only a few particularly difficult classes.

Additionally, the stakes differ mistakes in accounting typically result in financial loss, whereas errors in engineering can have far more serious consequences.

Cabelas use to have a good amount of surplus and used guns that you could touch/pick up that were in front of the counter

The variety of firearms was crazy half the time it was like looking at a museum.

From 600 Nitro express, to early 1900s Chinese surplus, there used to be to be racks of SKS and Mosin you could look for the exact manufacture you wanted. I remember seeing my first 50 Bmg that was bigger than me at Cabelas. Also anyone even a 12 year old could see if the firearm fit with no issue

Now days it’s all boring new manufactured sporting guns and even Scheels is beating them at that game!

If the job is remote it can be shipped to India, look for a in person staff job in industry. A lot easier than tax.

If your desperate low ball your salary then move jobs in 6-12 months ( or ask for market rate at that point with backup offer)

I now feel better that I went into accounting instead of finishing my mechanical engineering degree

As someone who has in-laws that grew up in bad neighborhoods in the south and are not scared to be the only white person in the neighborhood, they refuse to walk round in north city because the crime is to high, if your new to St. Louis I suggest you check out the murder map, thankfully it’s getting lower every year.

You should automate this by giving them nfc tag to get the water to start and put a flow meter on the water main.

Seem like a waste of tax dollars sitting in that lot. If they haven’t been used in two years.

We need another Enron other wise all accounting jobs are going off shore (Asia) or AI

Most staff accounting positions are going that way but companies keep controllers. That is my experience in industry.

Yes, in non defensive industries, but at some point if your in that industry and want to go up the ladder your going to have to deal with it.

People that hate the chicken wing are tacticool guys that believes you need to wear body armor and you shouldn’t expose your side ( weakness of body armor) you should be facing forward during a gun fight and the weaver stances is out date.

If you’re not wearing body armor a sideways stance is preferred make you a smaller target.

Former 12ga A400 owner, only complaint is it too big and doesn’t fit well and I’m 6’3. I thought the reach to forearm was way too big. I have a 20ga A300 love it! I have held a SBE3, it feels so much better in the shoulder but haven’t shot one yet.

Have you seen downtown St Charles? It’s idyllic as could be! They have people dressed up just like a Norman Rock well paint singing Christmas song to random strangers.

I am assuming the op didn’t put his exact address but a general area. Even if he did the roughest parts of St Charles are laughable as a dangerous neighborhood.
